As long as we are overstaffed that would be true. The contract however specifies manning. If they reach the manning minimums they will have to hire pilots or cut back on the number of block hours. If they are getting into a high greenslip situation then they likely are at the manning limits and the contract would govern.

I thought you couldn't land an airbus in a crosswind?

And holy crap those Condor guys made it look ugggglllyyyy. I've never seen a 757 wheelbarrow land before.

When I look at todays seniority list it looks as if 15 years of seniority puts you right at 50%. It looks as if the massive hiring will move that hitting 50% to about 12-13 years. It's significantly better, but not necessarily massive movement. Maybe my calculating is off though as I can't tell what year we hit 50%.

Not that it matters one bit. Too many variables, guys leave a lot earlier than planned sometimes in far large numbers than would legitimately be estimated. heck we're only about 40 guys from no longer having 12,000 hired.

I hear that since the MD-88's can't do the RNAVs off the north side of ATL anymore that they are looking at retrofitting them with this for added performance:



MD-88 don't give a.....

I never saw the dog.

All I saw was butt and wondered, is that one of those women in MIA who went for butt filler to make their butt more round and the fake doctor used concrete?

And then they let Captains pick up FO trips at time and a half, essentially paying them somewhere around 6 times what they would have to pay a new hire. Continental uses and abuses their reserves. We should take their misery as a lesson for our contract negotiations.

Speaking of Continental, their work rules and schedules are inferior to ours, but one thing they have over us that I would like to see in our next contract for reserves is the ability to aggressively pick up a trip. Here at Delta we put in a yellow slip request, and then they may or may not even look at the trip we are requesting. At Continental the long call pick up window I believe starts at 11 am and once they have that trip for the next day they have no further obligation until that check in time. The short call agressive pick up window then starts at noon, but their short calls are still given a call period, but once they pick it up it is on their schedule, like a line holder picking up a trip, rather than a request to scheduling like we have.

And fly even more, just ask ACL how much he worked last summer. Plus you get to do 24 hour short calls.
